“From the creator of Girls and the producers of Love Actually, Too Much is an expat rom-com for the disillusioned who wonder if true love is still possible, but sincerely hope that it is.”
We’ve also had some slight hints at what to expect from the two lead characters – Jessica seems to be slightly jaded by experiencing her twenties. Meeting Felix makes her question it all.
“If you’d met Jessica ten years ago, you would have been blinded by her inner light – but life has taken her on a walkabout, when she thought she was just taking a quick jog,” a Netflix description reads. “Felix upends all her expectations, but it turns out that trusting someone is scarier than trusting no one.”
He is also described as “a very different kind of 35 – acting eternally 18, dressed like a punk elf, running as fast as he can from a trauma he can’t name, sleeping with every woman who stays in the bar past closing time and waking up wondering why he can’t just enjoy a night alone”. A complicated fellow, to say the least. He may even be having a crisis in identity, just like Jessica.
“Born in the UK and raised between English boarding schools and his extended family in Japan, he feels neither here nor there. Making music is his only consolation – music that no one listens to.”
